Millet is used in the diet of all birds: straight beaks and hooked beaks. In bunches, it's a treat they love.

The shuttle is almost similar to rapeseed, the difference lies in the bitter flavor of the latter. The shuttle seed is rich in protein and favorable to the improvement of song, so it is interesting during the breeding season in canaries. However, as this seed is quite fatty, we advise you not to exceed 10% of your shuttle mixture for colored canaries or posture canaries. For singing canaries, the shuttle softens the song and can therefore be used at 30% of the mixture: in the latter case, we advise you to accompany your bird's diet with liver support.

The flaxseed consists of 40 to 45% oil and 25% protein. Flaxseed preserves very well. It contains, in particular, two fatty acids with similar names (both derived from the word "lin"), linolenic acid (an omega-3) and linoleic acid.
